[groupie1]

Anyone got anything different?"

Paton Howard Wilke
Highmore Coffield Snclair
Billings Steele Hill
Higgins Marshall Membrey
Sharman King Butler

Foll: Ryder, Crouch, Gresham

Int: Jones, H Clarke, Byrnes, Hannebery

Em: Connolly, Geary, Battle

[Impatient Sainter]

Sinclair Howard Highmore
Hill Battle Wilkie
Hannebrey Steele McKenzie
Higgins Membrey Billings
Butler King Marshall

Ryder, Jones, Crouch

Int: Sharman, Coffield, Clark, Byrnes

Note: Paton & Gresham would normally be first picked but I believe coming back from such a serious injuries will take time.

Fair point.
So you have Battle and DMac in for Gresh and Paton. Seems reasonable.

CHB our weakness. I'm also assuming Hannas not fit.

Posted this elsewhere

A crack at a top 22

B - Webster, Howard, Wilkie
HB - Highmore, Battle, Sinclair
C - Hill, Steele, Clark
HF - Billings, Marshall, Gresham
F - Butler, King, Membrey
R - Ryder, Crouch, Jones
Int - Higgins, Ross, Coffield, Sharman
Emg - Campbell, Bytel, Paton

Next in line: Byrnes, Dmac, Long, Connolly and NWM (for development)


Not an easy task

Sucks to leave Paton out but I guess it depends on how he returns from injury
Also don’t like leaving Bytel our... kid needs more game time.
Becomes increasingly difficult to justify a selection of Ross... not due to lack of talent right now but if he’s not getting better and having periods of ‘role time’, I’d really rather play Byrnes, Bytel, Connolly, Dmac etc all of that is assuming Hannebery isn’t fit to play which whilst a seemingly safe assumption, makes it harder if he actually gets on the park.

Ruck situation still feels light
We have a plethora of marking defenders that I don’t quite know how to balance. IMO it only makes sense if Battle really assumes the close checking CHB role with Wilkie, Highmore and Coffield focusing on run. Highmore to me is still a mystery in terms of fitting him into the structure... no doubting his talent but I’m uncertain as to his mobility/run which we need a bit more of out of defence.

One thing is for certain...
There are a lot of options there that should stop Kent and Joyce getting games. If those two play with any consistency I reckon we’re in serious trouble

[The Fireman]

seems we have some depth...but I said that this season......anyways...wanna see more of this Sharman kid.

If Ryder can play out the season, we make finals.

I forgot Ross. Ross to replace Byrnes on the bench. I also forgot Webster, he can replace Coffield on the interchange.

Gees if we stay injury free the Sandringham side will be flying.

Has Geary stepped down as co-captain?

Seriously, you don't expect the captain (a captain) to be picked in the seconds.


I expect Paton to start in the seconds.

Ross and Geary to be regulars for the first six games.

We should have a nicer fixture this year at least.

A lot may depend on the pre-season?

Hannebury...it is almost a standing joke now.

Clark back to HB.

[Gershwin]

If Hill can’t play wing then piss him off. He is a liability at half-back with his inability to tackle and apply pressure. Admit our mistake and move on.

On paper, yes.

In reality…how many of those guys played 10 good games in 2021?
I’m gonna say four…
Sinclair, Wilkie, Hill, Steele and Howard

Even tho it’s five.

Mnnn..
